>America isn't perfect, but it's pretty damned good.
And this is because of generations who got blasted for fighting against the current norms at the time. Whether it was fighting against slave holders or during times like the civil rights era when the southerners were willing to make some compromises but in regards to full civil rights they pushed back and said "lets not move too fast on this, its too much change too quickly". No, it took the real brave people who were that generations extremists to drag the country kicking and screaming in to the future. Even then the rebels were only successful because of circumstances beyond their control (eg. JFK assassination paved the way for pushing the civil rights bill through).
So yeah you seem to be implying that the Americans whining and complaining today should look at places like China and see how good they have it(the standard right wing trope displayed on places like the Joe Rogan podcast) however you fail to see how this messy process that unfortunately involves things like wokeism, BLM and this constant extreme push for other real progressive causes will hopefully eventually lead to an America that the next generation can say with more confidence that "America isn't perfect, but it's pretty damned good."
